I just got a job offer to be a civillian worker for the US Military, doing web work mostly (flash, shockwave, director). Is it worth it to work for the military? Oppprtunities to move up? Do they pay good?

Never knew we had an Army base their. Thats not too far from my University, Rutgers.
Anyway, goodluck, the Army should at least give u mucho benefits

Is it civil service? My dad works for the civil service at Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs. It seems like a typical job but I guess the benefits are pretty decent, he gets a lot of leave and stuff.

Contractor or GS/WG civil service job? Contractors are paid quite well, while GS/WG jobs pay well PISS POOR!

I MIGHT be working there (over the summer) too.

Its part of some sort of internship thing for the army acquisition corps.

Yea... my mom is an SES @ US DOT and the contractors working for her make 4 to 5 times more per hour. But they don't get the benefits (healthcare + retirement plan) It still is outrageous IMHO.
